The tragic death of Jordan Neely has sent shockwaves throughout the nation. Following his murder, a video of the incident went viral on Twitter, showing the events leading up to his untimely death. According to witnesses, Neely entered the train car and began to act erratically, throwing his jacket on the floor and pacing up and down while shouting.

Authorities say he was harassing passengers and making threats when a 24-year-old stepped in to attempt to subdue him. A physical struggle ensued, ultimately leading to Neely losing consciousness. He was quickly rushed to Lenox Hill Hospital, but it was too late, and he was pronounced dead.

The man who attempted to subdue Neely claimed he was trying to help fellow passengers who felt scared and threatened. However, at a vigil for Neely, advocates argued that Neely needed the most help and that society had failed him.

Police questioned the 24-year-old subway rider and released him, and the other passengers on the train corroborated his story. Witnesses reported that as he restrained Neely, he asked fellow passengers to call 911.
